My take on real life v cyberspace

I have said my definition or theme of web 2.0 which only concerns how  
I see facebook is that site is more real life than in the past  
virtual worlds of virtual friends.

There is still a large virtual world(set of people who are anonymous)  
too on the web.

On facebook my only 1 anonymous friend is a  ______ type. I put blank  
because I do not want to identify that characteristic as it is opinion.

I wrote "If you are a dog, you are a dog on facebook too"   
paraphrasing the old saying to get at what I mean. I do not mean to  
offend as this comes from gendered insults I believe originally  
concerning attractiveness.

I have read and studied a lot of academic writing about cyberspace  
the mythical gender changing, time changing, space defying, etc. new  
phenomena but...

I like facebook because it is more real. I really did not find so  
many old friends nor my wife until we used facebook

continuing on unrelated stuff

a local programer said it was facebook's minimalist page design that  
was its success even though after apps on facebook this design is  
defied.

One next step for me is analysing facebook for disabled users.
